Flat Roofing in Leicestershire

For a roof you will walk on or want the longest rigid finish, GRP fibreglass is excellent. For a large, simple roof installed quickly with minimal joints, EPDM rubber is hard to beat. Felt remains a reliable, lower-cost option. We recommend based on your specific roof, not a one-size-fits-all answer.

Modern GRP and EPDM systems commonly last 25–30 years or more; quality torch-on felt typically 15–20 years. Correct falls and drainage are the biggest factors in longevity.

Usually because water is ponding due to poor falls, or because an old felt covering has cracked or blistered. We correct the falls and fit a modern membrane rather than patching repeatedly.

Yes — our workmanship is covered by our written 15-year guarantee, on top of the manufacturer warranty for the membrane system fitted.

GRP fibreglass needs a dry deck and temperatures above about 5°C to cure properly, so it is planned around the forecast. EPDM rubber and torch-on felt are more tolerant of cold, but no system should be laid onto a wet deck. In a Leicestershire winter that usually means picking the right days rather than waiting for spring.
